If you have emergency travel needs (traveling in less than 2 weeks), due to circumstances such as needing medical attention or replacing a passport that was lost or stolen while you were transiting Zambia, we can issue a limited validity emergency passport. This passport would be printed at our Embassy in Lusaka while you wait and will facilitate your immediate travel. You would then replace it with a full validity passport when you return. While you would pay for the emergency passport, there is no charge for the full-validity replacement, if you present your emergency passport within one year of issuance. Please contact us at: ACSLusaka@state.gov for more information about Emergency Passports.
